The teddy bear is nearly 50 years old and belongs to Daughter no 2. The knitted dress that the Teddy, called Souchka, is wearing, was knitted for me by my Grandmother, the lovely Granny who taught me to knit, crochet and play cards, she of the beautiful wooly jacket that I gave away last week. She made this for me when I was a baby so it is about 79 years old and is in truly beautiful condition. My Mum treasured it, so did I and now it lives on as the best dress of the Teddy.
The scent from these Primulas in a planter in town is as wonderful as their striking colours. 
I had tea in a cafe this afternoon, in a most elegant pot (but with no lid!) It poured beautifully.
